The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"Is such that."

"Compared to this...are you still planning to come down?"

"..."

Facing the overly calm girl, he had no choice but to silently jump down from above, then wordlessly stretched out his hands to pass under the girl's armpits, and then... the girl's world suddenly became higher.

"Um...what are you doing?" Rachel was suddenly lifted up high, causing Rachel to open her eyes in confusion.

"I just keep thinking that when I come back, I want to kiss and hold you high."

"Even if you say that...if you suddenly lift me up, I will still feel troubled." Rachel frowned slightly as if she was really troubled.

"Really? How about a hug?"

"Anyway...can you put me down first?"

"Oh, oh... I'm sorry?" He put down the girl on his hand without much apology, but unconsciously raised his head and looked at the blue sky, sighing in a low voice: "Although I have always wanted to lift it up Yes, but really just lifting it up, it doesn’t feel very meaningful and a bit empty..."

"emptiness?"

"Yes, it really has to be like this - hey!"

Before Rachel could react, An Yan knelt down and hugged her into his arms, filling her arms with fragrant jade. He happily rubbed his face against hers, even almost the whole face. All buried in the beautiful long pale golden hair.

"Ahh~ It really has to be like this! Ruijier is really sweet and soft~ It feels great to rub it~ It smells so good~ I really want to take it home~~~!" It was also at this moment that he felt alive again The real feeling is that I feel full of fulfillment after all the hardships have been overcome.

"...This is your home now, right?"

"Ah! Really? I've already taken you home!"

"I always feel... An Yan is like a strange person..."

Unknowingly, An Yan was addicted to the atmosphere of sucking lolita, causing An Yan to say everything in her heart without paying attention. The left side of her cheek was rubbed by him, and the shape of Rachel was constantly changing when she heard this. He consciously showed a little helplessness.

However, she unexpectedly did not push him away. Instead, she gently hugged his waist, closed her eyes quietly, and just let him hug and rub him.

However, An Yan's cute and sweet appearance also made An Yan unable to help but indulge in sucking Ruijier, and she asked happily: "How is it~ Ruijier, have you missed me during this time?"

"....I don't want to answer that question right now."

"Marry me when you grow up!"

"Wait until you feel more normal before you say this."

"I've always been normal!"

"It's unusual to say such things, and..."

"and?"

"Although I feel a little embarrassed to disturb you suddenly when you are so happy now, I think it would be better if you turn around and look behind you."

Rachel shook her head slightly, trying to get him to recover from this strange state. However, this made him want to hold her in his arms without letting go, and even wanted to take him back to the bed to use as a pillow.

But before he could be happy for long, he also felt an inexplicable piercing gaze from behind, forcing him to come back to his senses and look back cautiously.

Beside the window sill on the second floor, a girl with long, straight black hair, her hair still untied, tilted her head in a wide arc and stared at him. She squeezed the window frame with both hands so hard that it almost deformed the window frame. The eyes staring at him were even more empty and lifeless, exuding a strange dark aura like a wraith.

Just being stared at by those eyes made him shudder inexplicably, but he still carefully let go of the girl in his arms, raised his hands pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Oh, oh...my lovely sister, Long time no see? How are you doing?"

"Brother... how about compared to me? Tell me first, what are you doing there?"

"This... Well, have you heard of it? Virginia Satir, the chief American psychotherapist and master of family therapy, known as the 'Columbus of family therapy', once said that a person has at least It takes four hugs to survive, eight hugs to maintain life, and twelve hugs to promote growth, because it is human nature to desire hugs! And you also know that Rachel lacked care in the past, and I am now nurturing Rachel. Jill, give this child the necessities for survival!"

An Yan solemnly defended her behavior of sucking lolita, and even quoted famous quotes from famous people.

This made Hayasaka Ai, who was standing next to Kaguya with a normal expression, even a little happy for some reason, then added to him seriously with a malicious smile:

"By the way, during hugs and contact, if the partner is someone they like, girls will also produce oxytocin, which makes them feel safe and happy."

"The object of my liking....!!"

Kaguya caught it in an instant. As Hayasaka Ai added the content, she deliberately emphasized the key points of the description, and her already empty eyes gave off a dark and terrifying atmosphere.

Chapter 4 Kaguya-sama! The time has come to destroy relatives for justice! · Hayasaka Ai’s win-win betrayal

An Yan's disappearance left Shinomiya Kaguya in a state of despair.

On weekdays, it is close to the summer vacation, which means the last big exam before entering high school. At this time, there is nothing to do anyway, so Kaguya will study hard.

But having been persuaded by An Yan a long time ago, she didn't have too many thoughts about memorizing by rote. She felt that basic understanding was enough, and she didn't even read the review books, and now she wasn't even in the mood to go to school.

Even though more than a month has passed since that incident, she still remembers all the details of the scene that happened.

Especially when the first shot appeared, her brother, who usually gave her no worries at all and could even be called willful, was held in his arms extremely reliably at the critical moment, and an unwarranted warm touch enveloped her whole body. , which she still cannot forget.

Her chest will be hot, it must be the body temperature he left behind, and her face is still hot now, it must be from his warm breath - Kaguya can't help but be convinced every time she recalls what happened in the past.

But the last words before leaving, the determination to sacrifice himself to let her escape safely, every time she recalled it, it was like a cold wind that made her body lose warmth.

Being alone on the road outside would definitely be harder than imagined. She couldn't help but doubt it, so she couldn't hold back tears in the last email.

She might be relaxed in the room now, but no...it's still not relaxing.

Ever since she returned home, ever since there was one less person in her family, she had been suffering unbearable pain at all times.

Even though it is protected by a high wall, and even though there are many more security personnel on the perimeter than usual, my heart is still gripped by uneasiness.

"....Brother, how are you doing now? Why haven't you replied for so long? Is something going to happen?"

She just finished washing up today. Before going to school, Kaguya passed by An Yan's room as usual. She unconsciously looked in the direction of the abandoned room because of the death of someone, and subconsciously murmured to herself as if sighing.

But just as she was walking downstairs with a sigh, a human voice that could not be ignored suddenly broke into her ears from the outdoor courtyard as if carried by the wind - An Yan's name was in it.

This made her, who had just arrived on the second floor, reflexively stop her movements and slowly move her gaze towards the direction of the sound.

In an instant she saw, on the wall far below, a familiar figure lying on the wall for some reason.

Pounding——Kaguya's heart beat hard unconsciously.

But the longing and worried figure made her desperately abandon the sisters beside her, and wanted to rush down and throw herself into Anyan's arms desperately.

But before she could rush downstairs, she noticed a scene that caused her brain to fall into complete confusion and even doubt her eyes.

An Yan, who jumped off the fence, didn't know why, but he lifted Rachel up high.

Hayasaka Ai, who was like him before, turned her head to look at her instinctively, but for some reason at this moment, she looked like an outsider and made a loud reading voice:

"Oh~ this is a high lift."

"..."

"Ah, I hugged her, and my face was in Rachel's hair. She was probably smelling it, so the next step was probably a kiss, right?"

"Brother...brother...when, you...when...why did it become like this? Isn't this...the same as lolicon?! I obviously do that ....Then I believe you!”

Unconsciously, he stopped walking towards the stairs, came to the window sill and squeezed the window sill tightly, letting out a confused murmur full of resentment.

When she was in junior high school, she achieved the first level of grip strength in the Kyudo National Competition, and even caused substantial deformation of the aluminum alloy of the window frame.

This made Hayasaka Aito's heart tremble with fear. It was just the content of Kaguya's own words, but it also made her turn around in surprise:

"No...you've never trusted him in this regard, have you?"

"Haasaka...!" Kaguya slowly turned her head like a rusty robot and stared at her with empty eyes: "I am in danger now... You'd better not make any unnecessary explanations~~! "

"Ah, yes..."

Sensing that his master had begun to fall into madness, Hayasaka Aikechi closed his mouth and tried his best to watch quietly from the side, watching An Yan's serious nonsense to Kaguya below when he looked over.

No, it was actually a scientifically based way of changing the subject and evading the important. But she couldn't help but interrupt, and even subconsciously made a supplement that was close to fanning the flames.

in the courtyard.

Originally, he just wanted to find an excuse to comfort Kaguya first, so An Yan deliberately ignored some knowledge points.

But Hayasaka Ai's skillful pouring technique immediately gave him a headache. He even couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, only women and villains are difficult to raise... In the past, there were only some minor conflicts, Hayasaka Love still likes to add fuel to one's own fire?Too vindictive, right?

However, compared to the future revenge on Hayasaka Ai... Kaguya's terrifying appearance at the moment made him feel that his life was in real danger, so he had to search for words in his heart and retort seriously:

"——Haasaka! There is no need to specifically add and emphasize that 'like' and 'oxytocin' have nothing to do with each other. Oxytocin is not something that only appears in girls, but it appears more in girls.... And if you are I would be happy if you could shut up at this time.”

"I'm trying to popularize common sense for Kaguya-sama."

"I don't think this is common sense... Maybe I should compliment you on how knowledgeable you are?"

"It's okay, it's okay~" Hayasaka Ai pressed her hands with a smile that she didn't know if it was modest or not, then returned to her expressionless state, and then looked at Kaguya beside her again and said seriously: "Kaguya-sama I have been suffering from insomnia a lot lately, would you like to give Mr. An Yan a hug?"

"Eh, me? I just..." The girl who was still looking like a ghost before suddenly became coquettish at an exaggerated speed.

"There is solid scientific evidence that hugging can promote oxytocin, because oxytocin, also known as the hug hormone, not only allows girls' childbirth and breastfeeding to go more smoothly, but also regulates the body's cortisol levels to reduce stress and anxiety, allowing girls to Feel a sense of security, happiness, and joy; if your relationship is good enough, then a long hug can definitely achieve a solid effect and allow you to get a peaceful sleep."

In strange aspects, Hayasaka Ai, who is inexplicably rich in knowledge, describes the benefits of oxytocin in detail.

But what she said was a normal thing, but Kaguya changed her mood from a coy attitude to a huge mood change again. She looked ashamed and couldn't bear it, and retorted in a panic with her face flushed:

"——Giving birth!? What are you talking about! My brother and I are brothers and sisters! How can we have children!"

"Hey, hey...?" Even Hayasaka Ai was dumbfounded at this moment.

Even though she was just explaining a hormone called oxytocin, Kaguya could still think of so much more?Is it possible that all the attention has been put on 'fertility'? ——She was dumbfounded and clicked her tongue in her heart. She was even a little frightened by Kaguya's imagination, so she couldn't help but cautiously said:

"Is it possible...you mean that it's okay not to have children?"

"——How, how is it possible! That, that is incest... incest!"

"But...under normal circumstances, you wouldn't think about it that much, right?"

"It was you who led me astray! What nonsense are you talking about~~!!!"

"Please calm down first...people will think you are a strange person if you do this."

Facing Kaguya, whose personality gradually became strange after getting to know An Yan, Hayasaka Ai had an obvious feeling of being troublesome. She sighed silently and persuaded her blushing face with a waning attitude. Owner.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here." An Yan carefully expressed his opinion.

But as soon as the words came out, Hayasaka Ai pulled Kaguya away from the window sill in an instant, and by the way said, "Stand over there and don't move, I will help her restart it first." Then closed the window and curtains.

Then on the deserted walkway on the second floor, Hayasaka Ai, who had a splitting headache, held her forehead with one hand and thought for a moment. Then she stretched out her hands and pressed them on Kaguya's shoulders, as if she wanted to shake Kaguya's brains out. Rock hard on a mission of power and speed.

Just like that, in the dizzy state, Kaguya was released and fell directly to the ground.

After a while, he swallowed. He resisted the nausea and dizziness and turned around again. He looked at the sisters who grew up with him and showed a very forced smile: "You did a good job. Let's do it differently next time." ....I almost feel like throwing up.”

"Morning sickness before I even hold you?"

"——No~~!!!"

Hayasaka Ai's simple ridicule instantly made all her previous efforts in vain; Kaguya violently objected by waving her hands wildly, and the temperature of her cheeks that had just cooled down warmed up again.

Regarding all this, Hayasaka Ai just seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he simply gave up speaking because he didn't know what to say to her.

.........................

An Yan, who was happily sucking a lolita downstairs, was interrupted by Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai. She felt that her interest had faded by more than half, and she could only sigh while stroking Rachel:

"Obviously I'm still looking forward to a touching reunion...how come it's actually so strange?"

"...If you can be a little normal, I think there will still be a touching reunion."

"What are you talking about? Am I not very normal now?"

"If possible, could you please stop what you are doing before saying this?" Rachel, whose hair had been completely messed up by him, looked up at him expressionlessly and spoke out in an extremely calm manner. The problem: "If possible, you might become more popular if you tone it down a little."

"So, what are you talking about? I'm very restrained now."

"Does this... also count?" Rachel opened her eyes in confusion and whispered in annoyance: "Is there any difference in our understanding of the word convergence?"

"How come? I don't think there's a problem. Now I'm just touching my hair. If it's not restrained, how can I be considered restrained?"

"...That's it."

She was usually an extremely calm and rational girl, but at this moment, Rachel let out a small sigh and completely gave up trying to understand what would happen if she didn't restrain herself.

Kaguya, who put her hands on her lower abdomen and returned to her former dignified and ladylike appearance, did not let An Yan, who was just stroking Ruijier back to health, didn't wait too long and slowly walked towards him from the corner of the building. , even though the corners of his eyes twitched slightly when he saw him like this, he tried hard to stay calm:

"Long time no see...brother."

"Oh, oh... Although it's a little better than before, I don't think it's normal for me to give you a touching hug at this time?"

"...No! I'll forget it!" Kaguya's body froze slightly. Although she was very moved and had such an idea at the beginning, she still shook her head vigorously to reject the proposal after a long silence.
